It\u2019s nothing less than our biggest annual opportunity to \u201csolve the workforce\u2013<\/strong>development crisis,\u201d as MI Senior Director of Student Engagement Julia Asoni put it during a\u00a0recent webinar<\/a>.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n The crisis:\u00a0<\/strong>Manufacturers will need to hire 4 million workers between now and 2030 to account for growth and fill positions left open by retiring workers, according to a recent study by Deloitte and the MI. Yet 2.1 million of those jobs could go unfilled because of the skills gap.<\/p>\n Making a difference:\u00a0<\/strong>In 2019, more than 325,000 MFG Day participants took part in 3,000 events across North America, Asoni noted. Afterward, 72% said they now believed \u201cmanufacturing provides an interesting and rewarding career.\u201d<\/p>\n What can you do?\u00a0<\/strong>Manufacturers that wish to host an event this MFG Day but don\u2019t know where to start have come to the right place.<\/p>\n Register your event:\u00a0<\/strong>Be sure to\u00a0register<\/a>\u00a0your MFG Day events by the end of August. This will help people find them and sign up.<\/p>\n Calls to action:\u00a0<\/strong>MFG Day event hosts should each have their own calls to action\u2014steps that attendees can take to keep engaging with manufacturing. This could be signing up for a company newsletter, following the company on social-media channels or attending another event, such as a career day.<\/p>\n Check it out:\u00a0<\/strong>As MFG Day nears, keep checking in on\u00a0CreatorsWanted.org<\/a>. It will be updated and refreshed continually up to Oct. 1 with new MFG Day resources, along with updates on the broader\u00a0Creators Wanted campaign<\/a>\u00a0to help inspire, educate and empower the next generation of manufacturing talent.<\/p>\n More support:\u00a0<\/strong>Need a bit more help?
